Lincoln Brewster's Stratocaster pairs a vintage look with a lot of control. The ash body wears Olympic Pearl lacquer with a 1-ply eggshell pickguard and aged white knobs, and the 1-piece maple neck has a soft V carve in nitrocellulose lacquer.
The electronics carry it. A DiMarzio Area 61 at the bridge and two DiMarzio Area 58s at middle and neck are hum-cancelling single-coils. An onboard active preamp adds a fixed boost on a push/pull volume, and the first tone knob sets the level of the mid boost. The second tone covers the bridge pickup, and a treble bleed keeps the top end as you roll the volume down. The fingerboard runs a 9.5" to 14" compound radius with 22 medium jumbo frets, rounder near the nut for chords and flatter higher up for bends. A 2-point tremolo with bent steel saddles and a pop-in arm, plus vintage-style locking tuners, round it out.
Made in the USA, Olympic Pearl with a maple board, right-handed, with a black hardshell case. The Eric Clapton Stratocaster is another Strat with an active mid boost, on a different neck and pickup set.
